The Messies were formed in the spring of 2003 by Kelly Kidd, who hails from the small farming town of Foley, Minnesota, population 2,154. Kidd had already been beating the Hollywood streets as a singer/songwriter and once persuaded a record label to sign him. Shortly after, the deal went bust and Kidd returned to selling sun block and swimsuits. Realizing his own life and career was in a mess he once again set out to rock
the world.
Thomas Gallmeier, drummer, had met Kidd in a 12 step program in Hollywood and instead of completing steps 10-12 the two designed a strategy to "bounce-back" into music. Kidd once stated he thought 12 steps was actually a hip-hop class at CRUNCH gym. For Gallmeier, who once resided in Germany, having played all over the world, this was his chance to trade in his lederhosen for a shot at the big time.
↓ more ↓Guitarist Sergio Alva, on a whim, tried out for the Messies under a different name and scored the gig that could have been his roommate's. Sergio's roommate was set to audition for the Messies, but was nowhere to be found on the day of his audition. Sergio decided to take up on this opportunity and audition under his roommate's name. Little did he know that his mischief would make him a Messie.
Spike came from Iowa to join the Messies with little more than a guitar and a dream. Originally a front man/guitar player for a punk band, Spike's guitar-playing found new dimensions by learning the drums and by exposure to hip-hop rhythms through a stint as a DJ. Thinking that his audition for the Messies was actually a support group for those addicted to support groups, he decided to give the band a shot anyway.
Bassist JB 'Buster' Aletky grew up alongside guitarist Sergio Alva in the city of Los Angeles. Before Buster became a Messie, he helped Sergio learn songs for his first Messies gig. One fateful day, the Messies former bassist failed to show for a gig. Luckily, Buster knew the songs and was ready to step up and fill the shoes of the missing Messie. He saved the Messies from certain disaster, rocking beyond expectations. Since then he has been a permanent fixture with the Messies on stage, adding his own creativity and style to their exciting performances.
The Messies often get compared to others in their genre, however, their second album, entitled "Life Gets Meaner," will set them apart even further with their blend of electronic and rock. The Messies, most noted for their fun and smart lyrics will knock you out for the count with a new raw energy and fresh sound which promises to be put on "repeat." The new CD will be available in October 2005.
